Radio LBB: Wartime Classics - Everything Stops for Tea

Take a tea break from your hectic schedule and enjoy some escapist hits from the World War Two years. That was when musical whimsy and cute novelty songs were on hand to take everyone's mind off grim reality.

From Flanagan and Allen's advice to a rabbit on how to avoid ending up in the pot, to Vera Lynn's heroic "We'll Meet Again", the nation's musical taste was for the wacky and the optimistic. And underpinning it all was Britain's unshakable belief that even in times of crisis, there was still nothing quite like a nice cup of tea to restore morale.
